Well I'm not sure how Gray figures in. Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) reads poetry to Nuka Laloosh (Tim Robbins)in bed--'cause "a guy will listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay." But I remember the selection being "Leaves of Grass".

Maybe I've got it wrong,

I think Ross is right about the poetry. Mostly I am shocked (SHOCKED!) that you have never seen Bull Durham, Alice! It's a classic. My favorite part is the "conference" on the mound where they all talk about the wedding.

I checked this out on Google. Annie quotes "I Sing the Body Electric" in bed; she quotes Thomas Gray when she's talking about Crash's destiny: "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, / And waste its sweetness on the desert air."
